Ace From Space!

Jonathan Aguiar
Jonathan Aguiar

Jon Aguiar just called us to his table to tell us he recently tripled up. We were surprised however to see that he only had 375 chips.

"I have them right where I want them," Aguiar said.

The very next hand he moved all in from late position, a player on the button three-bet to over 900, and a player in the blinds four-bet shoved for over 2,000. The player on the button called, and the hands were turned over.

Aguiar: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Opponent 2: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"Ace from space!" Aguiar shouted. "Ace from space!"

Ask and you shall receive - the flop was {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Aguiar clapped furiously as the board ran {5-Clubs}, {q-Diamonds}, sending his stack over 1,200.

Unfortunately he was eliminated soon after, he got it in {a-}{q-} against {k-}{k-} and couldn't catch another ace from space.
